1994 - Metallica - CSUDH Velodrome Field

Went with Ron, Bianca and Shawn if I remember right.

I had never seen Metallica though 

I had had many opportunities.

I had my secret metal love but it went more 

towards Slayer than Metallica.

I was a secret listener of KNAC. 

But in my defence of that I had listened

to KNAC since I was a kid and it was 

the only station to play rock. 

And it was in Long Beach!

But by the time this tour came around 

Metallica were huge, widely loved MTV gods!

So, I decided I wanted to see them. 

What a well oiled, precision machine they were(are?).

All moves were in perfect harmony 

(who choreographed this thing?),

every "fuck" and city name was perfectly placed.   

And they sounded just like a cd.

It was a great show.  How could it not be? 

Everything was perfect.  

Like a script had been made to tell them to 

insert ______ here, be it guitar solo, 

drum solo, or whatever.

I have to say I really had a good time and was impressed.

Got a setlist from setlist.fm (thank you!)
